Still too overstuffed for my taste, but there is a lot to enjoy here. Definitely better modulated than Mendes’ previous ‘Skyfall’, the action here is really good, it has probably the best plot in the series since ‘License to Kill’ and Seydoux perfectly fits the film’s bloated dimension with her usual excessive acting, fueling it with just enough emotion to make it sting (‘I love you’ followed by a tightened grip, possibly the first moment of actual emotion in the series’ last three entries).
